Stylists Carla Joi Farmer and Stacey Morris Receive An Oscar Nod For These Incredible Hairstyles From 'Coming 2 America'
Awards season isn’t only an occasion to celebrate the outstanding actors in front of the camera. It’s also a time to honor the talent behind the scenes, from costume designers to hair and makeup crews. These creatives play a vital role in bringing our favorites films to life, including Coming 2 America.
The sequel to the 1988 rom-com Coming To America, starring Eddie Murphy, Arsenio Hall and Wesley Snipes, is nominated for an Academy Award this year in the makeup and hairstyling category. And while the Oscars can be uneventful for people of color, we're hoping hairstylists Carla Joi Farmer and Stacey Morris take home a win.
That's not say the nomination isn't a victory. According to the Washington Post, Farmer and Morris are among the second group of Black stylists to ever be nominated in the category.
Here's a look at a few of the award-worthy 'dos crafted by the styling duo on cast members Kiki Layne, Teyana Taylor, Garcelle Beauvais and more. To see who wins, tune in to the 94th Academy Awards on March 27.
